Hello again,

I had no success with my previous difficulties so I ended up, out of curiosity, wiping the drive and installing Fedora (17) cleanly.
I have the Nvidia driver installed.
I have installed winetricks, per instructions on the forum. Was able to install eve and get updates
Now have the msvcrt, msvcr80, msvcr90, msvcr100 set to bulliten, native

when I launch eve from the launcher, for a split second i see the splash screen, albeit small, then a black screen. I hear no audio.

Any possible suggesions would be appreciated.

Did you install corefonts?

I have a fruit cup and I'm not afraid to use it.

I have to use "winetricks d3dx9_36" or the process just doesn't work.

Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit with NVidia GTX460, Wine 1.5.12 (WINEARCH set to win32).

I have Wine 1.5.11 installed.

Can you explain where to set Winearcg to win32? I have seen some references to this, but nothing that explained it in more detail.

Thanks

When running wine from command line, you set the value of the variables prior to the "wine" command appearing:

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/tom/.wine_eve wine explorer /desktop=1600x900 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

If you're not setting any variables your command line probably just starts with "wine" and uses the default WINEPREFIX of ~/.wine and on a 64-bit system, wine defaults to 64-bit Windows.

If your path to EVE includes "Program Files (x86)" then you're running a 64-bit wine and EVE gets installed in "Program Files (x86)" because it's a 32-bit application.

To fix this, however, you need to fully reinstall. If your current wine directory is setup as 64-bit Windows, you can't use WINEARCH=win32 to use it - you will get an error message that the architecture doesn't match.

Thanks, that did the trick. Uninstalled wine, downloaded, compiled and installed 32bit wine (1.5.12) and dependencies. Installed the wineserver stuff all over again, installed wine into new prefix and installed.

It's running fine. No audio, but that's a pulseaudio thing, and I can live without it for now. Thanks again for your help!Lol

I have found that pulseaudio's purpose is to break sound, and that simply uninstalling it is sufficient to fix things.
